Maybe i could make a replica set.

I presume inner and outer rear arches...

I got my parts from Carz2.
They have a lot of reasonable Klokkerholme parts for the Cavalier.

So after months, I managed to get some clearing done in the garage, in fact the
Whole day. Did I miss the footie..? Anyways, what a nightmare and that’s just half a side..

I think I got around 4-5 digital displays... lcd manual and electrical diagram - it’s in German!
Multiple spare plastic trims..many boxes
Countless number of gsi fuel displays.. inc German one’s..switches, knobs, steering wheels, also found a calibra dash...mmm?

Also some of the new old stock parts...previously mentioned

The best is small box full of emblems which are hard to get hold nowadays... and brand new rear turbo clusters/panels

I also got a brand set of fogs cdi/sri that I need to sell...

I need to sell some other stuff as it’s just toooo much... but first I need to make some round trips to the recycling yard.... then the other half.

Give me a nudge if you find the seat rail rear end caps...
They are the only thing missing from my interior.

It is amazing what you find...
I know I have a tired GSi fuel computer, half a digi dash, a dual info display, an analogue clock and various service items.

I could do with a sort out, but don't have the heart to part with anything.

I’ve got a pair in Germany with some parts. I’ll give you these in the coming year.

Carwise, no real progress. Managed to source a number of original spares.

For a saloon, the indicator, main-beam stalk should be the same as the hatch,

So Cavalier Mk3 Indicator, main beam stalk without cruise-control buttons is part number :- 9181010

The body type is relevant for the wiper switch. (No rear wiper).
Part number for wiper switch without variable delay and without computer buttons is :- 1241131

Not many "GM Original" parts available new, but plenty of third party brands still available.

The indicator switch is reported available from Genuine Parts Search at a cost of £50.70.

Most ebay non-branded parts are available for a lot less than that for both.
